Course Layout
& Hole-by-Hole Guide
Hole 1 – Par 5
This PAR 5 may require a drive with draw to avoid the bunkers on the right of the fairway. A second shot is advisable to avoid the five bunkers.
Hole 2 – Par 3
A short PAR 3 with enough slope to make the ball go over the bunker that protects the front of the green on the left. There are two more bunkers to the right and at the back of the green.
Hole 3 – Par 4
This PAR 4 is accompanied by a lake to the right. The fairway to the green has a slight slope towards the water and narrows as it approaches the elevated green.
Hole 4 – Par 3
This PAR 3 is challenging due to a lake on the right. The green is slightly inclined with a narrow entry to the left, protected by two bunkers. A high and precise shot is advisable.
Hole 5 – Par 4
An unusual dogleg to the right and a memorable hole. A long iron or a short shot with wood to get over the lake is advisable to avoid three bunkers on the fairway. The green is protected by two bunkers.
Hole 6 – Par 4
Another short PAR 4, ideal for a possible birdie, as long as the opening shot avoids the two bunkers to the left. From there, a short wedge to the green will be the goal. The narrow green is also protected at the back by two bunkers.
Hole 7 – Par 4
An opening shot with a fairway wood avoids the ball falling into the bunkers. Use a lofted club to clear the bunker in front of the green that narrows and rises towards the back, where there are bunkers on both sides.
Hole 8 – Par 5
A gradual dogleg, where the opening shot should avoid three bunkers on top of a slope. Avoid three more bunkers on the elevated green, which is also protected by four more bunkers.
Hole 9 – Par 4
With out-of-bounds on the left and a bunker on the right, a well-positioned drive is essential. An old well in the middle of the fairway and a lake to the right of the green complicate the play.
Hole 10 – Par 5
The hole stretches from elevated tees to a lower plain. It needs two draws to reach the green protected by bunkers on the left. The fairway narrows and descends to the left. A breeze favors a controlled fade as the best option for the second shot to the green.
Hole 11 – Par 4
Huge bunker with two grass islands to the right of the fairway, shared with hole 16, and a smaller bunker to the left, limiting the landing area. Although the green is reachable in two shots, the second requires strength and precision.
Hole 12 – Par 3
The S.I. of 5 makes this PAR 3 difficult. Most of the distance to the slightly inclined green is over a lake, with two bunkers on the right and left, making the shot difficult.
Hole 13 – Par 4
With an S.I. of 1, this is the longest PAR 4, at 405 meters. An out-of-bounds fence and a bunker to the left are the only obstacles from the tee. The elevated green is protected by a large bunker in front.
Hole 14 – Par 4
A conservative tee shot is the best option for this PAR 4, with a lake curving to the right. On the approach shot to the green, it is necessary to avoid the edge of the lake and three bunkers.
Hole 15 – Par 5
The drive needs to be long and stay away from the two bunkers on the right, avoiding the water hazard on the second shot. The lake starts on the left, crosses to the right under a bridge, and continues near the green to the right. The second shot should preferably land to the left.
Hole 16 – Par 4
In this Par 4, there are bunkers on the right and left. The best angle to the green is from the right, being the safest entrance since the green is protected by bunkers on both sides.
Hole 17 – Par 3
A severely inclined green nestled between a lake on the right and a bunker on the left. Most golfers play short and to the right, hoping for a good chip and putt to make PAR.
Hole 18 – Par 4
A simple Par 4 and the last hole of the course, with some trees to the right that may lead to an out-of-bounds shot. The four bunkers surrounding the green limit the entry area from the right side.
